The live trek is the band’s first since 1987 and promises to be one of the most elaborate stadium excursions ever mounted. It will visit some 40 North American cities, including New York, San Francisco, Mexico City and Montreal.

The announcement was made by band manager Steve O’Rourke at a park adjacent to the stadium and in the shadow of the Pink Floyd Airship, moored nearby.

The as-yet untitled new album is being mixed and will be released in late March, coinciding with the tour’s bow.
